Top Encinitas Hotel Reviews

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay here and would come back again! The property seems newly renovated and has a quaint, clean pool for use. The front desk staff is very kind and helpful. There is a small continental breakfast bar with cereals, oatmeal, coffee/tea, and breads. Stonesteps beach is less than a 5 minute walk, and other beaches are within a 10 minute walk, and it's right in the middle of Leucadia so restaurants and anything else you could want is walkable. Highly recommend!"
